Hello,

The best place to see some of the airplane you want is Greece as they are still operating F5, A7, F4 and T37.

Here is the link of Hellenic Air Force.

Concerning crusader you are 9 years late, as we have our french F8 retired at the end of 1999. She was my favorite jet fighter. Sorry, all of my air to air pics are argentic, I have to numerise them before posting. Here is some launching and deck landing pics for the moment.

On the ramp at Alliance Ft. Worth in March...

The trainer version of the Dragonfly was still in service when I was at Sheppard- the T-37 Tweet. Actually, just found out they JUST retired the Tweets last month at Sheppard, replaced by the T6A "Texan II" a turboprop job...

The Republic of Korea air forces are still flying T-37s in their primary jet training until the T-50 production pumps up.
